A Travesty

I was at the funeral on Saturday, May 14, for fallen Oregon National Guard Soldier, Andrew Lara. However, conspicuously absent was our Governor, John Kitzhaber. No matter how you feel about a persons politics, I feel the office of the Governor should show respect to our fallen heroes.

I can personally attest to the fact that former Governor Ted Kulongoski didn't miss any of these funerals. I think the Governor owes and apology to the family of Andrew Lara, as well as a reason for not attending to all Oregonians. In my opinion, his absence was inexcusable. Thank you.
